A POINT in the right direction? Druids saw the pros and cons of last minute goals in their last two games.

A POINT in the right direction? Druids saw the pros and cons of last minute goals in their last two games.

At Llanelli they were holding onto a one goal lead until they conceded an equaliser in the fourth minute of injury time.

Then at Aberystwyth last Saturday they were looking at a 1-0 defeat until Richard Snell fired in an injury-time equaliser.

Now, the same supporters who were saying that you should never concede late goals are more than happy as the boot literally was on the other foot, it's a funny old game.

These two fine away points, following the win at Rhayader on Boxing Day, have left Druids in 14th position in the league but still only two points off the second relegation spot.

One crumb of comfort is that all of the bottom eight clubs have yet to visit Plaskynaston Lane so Druids' destiny is in their own hands.

It's now just one defeat in the last seven games so this Friday's clash with the current form team of the league, Caernarfon Town, should produce a cracking game. It could be very interesting!

With player manager Steve O'Shaughnessy missing his first game of the season at Aber, it means that keeper Dave Blower is the only player left with a 100% record, whilst Snell's recent rich vein of form has seen him reach seven LoW goals for the season, five behind current top scorer Ross Jefferies.

Both have some way to go to catch Marc Lloyd-Williams of Bangor City who leads the charts with 20 goals, including the five he got against the Druids.
